Jumpstart Research Report 2.09

<h3>Research Report on the 2008 Survey of New Jewish Organizations</h3> Jumpstart partnered with The Natan Fund and The Samuel Bronfman Foundation to conduct the first-ever survey of the nonprofit Jewish startup sector. The survey sought data on the hundreds of nonprofit startups that have been founded in the North American Jewish community in the last ten years. The purpose was to better understand the needs of these organizations, with the goal of creating effective responses to the current economic downturn. This preliminary report on the data from the survey contains ten key findings, covering the organizations and their participants, with a focus on how they are run, staffed, funded and governed.
